Journal ArticleDOI
Is global ocean sprawl a cause of jellyfish blooms
Carlos M. Duarte,Carlos M. Duarte,Kylie A. Pitt,Cathy H. Lucas,Jennifer E. Purcell,Shin-ich Uye,Kelly L. Robinson,Lucas Brotz,Mary Beth Decker,Kelly R. Sutherland,Alenk Malej,Laurence P. Madin,Hermes Mianzan,Josep Maria Gili,Veronica Fuentes,Dacha Atienza,Francesc Pagès,Denise L. Breitburg,Jennafer C. Malek,William M. Graham,Robert H. Condon +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that the proliferation of artificial structures, associated with the exponential growth in shipping, aquaculture, and other coastal industries, and coastal protection, provides habitat for jellyfish polyps and may be an important driver of the global increase in jellyfish blooms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal variation in shallow seawater temperatures around Antarctica
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the wider context of these values by investigating minimum and maximum temperatures and ranges throughout the Southern Ocean using remotely sensed SST data, and show weekly, daily and hourly variation in shallow sea temperature can be one third of total annual variability (in the summer) but can be very constant (in winter).
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature effects on asexual reproduction rates of scyphozoan species from the northwest Mediterranean Sea
Jennifer E. Purcell,Dacha Atienza,Veronica Fuentes,Alejandro Olariaga,Uxue Tilves,Chandler Colahan,Josep Maria Gili +6 more
TL;DR: These patterns of survival and asexual reproduction were seasonally appropriate for each species in the NW Mediterranean, where A. aurita medusae occur earliest (~April–May) in cool waters, followed by R. pulmo during May–June, and then by C. tuberculata in mid-summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal variation in body composition, metabolic activity, feeding, and growth of adult krill Euphausia superba in the Lazarev Sea
Bettina Meyer,Lutz Auerswald,Volker Siegel,Susanne Spahic,Carsten Pape,Bettina A. Fach,Mathias Teschke,Andreas L. Lopata,Veronica Fuentes +8 more
TL;DR: Adult Euphausia superba thus adopt metabolic slowdown and omnivorous feed- ing activity at low rates to survive the winter season in the Lazarev Sea.
Book ChapterDOI
Pelagia noctiluca in the Mediterranean Sea
Antonio Canepa,Veronica Fuentes,Ana Sabatés,Stefano Piraino,Ferdinando Boero,Josep Maria Gili +5 more
TL;DR: The Medusa Project in Catalonia aims to understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of the jellyfish populations in the Mediterranean Sea by undertaking daily sampling during summer (May to September) of 243 beaches, covering more than 500 km of coast.
